At the age of 29, the pensioner by Cox’s Ridge is part of
the “senior group” of Manchester mares yet maintains a youthful personality and
maneuvers easily through her daily routine. While getting a bath, she will
drink from the hose. She likes to scrunch up her nose and move it side to side.

Look for the editorial feature “Catching Up” on Twilight
Ridge in an upcoming issue of The Blood-Horse. Written by Claire Novak, the
feature will highlight some of the wonderful stories shared by the farm staff
at Mike Rutherford’s Manchester Farm.
